Each year we go away for a few days so we can evaluate the present year. We discuss our accomplishments for the year. We look at the type of clients we had and how they came to us. Then we determine our strategies for marketing for the coming year. We make long term and short term goals for the following year. This has been a great tool for us because we talk about what types of projects we like to do so we can continue enjoying our work.

Getting Ready for the Big Annual Meeting

To be successful every business large or small should have a year end assessment meeting. I know for us it gets us energized for the coming year.

Cindy Beving met with us at Beyond Video and wanted a unique video that would promote her business. Since we knew she had 4 dogs and that they were a part of her team we suggested that they be the stars of her promotional video. We were off to a great start.

We arranged a rehearsal so Petey the main star and his siblings got to be around us with our cameras.

Check out the promotional/marketing video that was created in collaboration with Cindy of Beving Books.

What our clients think about our service is very important to us. That’s why we encourage our clients to let us know how we did by asking them to write a review on Goggle, Facebook and any other place they want to share their experience with us.

Reviews help our clients and prospective clients hear what experiences our clients have had with us. I know I would want to do business with a company that works well with their clients.

We love collaborating with clients when working on marketing videos. Working with clients like Angie make our job as filmmakers a breeze. Her contagious smile and positive attitude made the shoot perfect.

Review of our services:

From Angie:

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Beyond Video to create a marketing video. Annyce and Glenn made the whole thing a breeze, from the moment I walked in the door to the time I reluctantly left their studio.

What impressed me most:

– Their professionalism and attention to the smallest details.
– Their unending wells of patience with an amateur (me!).
– The quality of the videos they produce. I got to see a little bit of the editing process and was shocked at how perfectly they created the lighting, got the right angles and captured more than just the words I was saying.

This was a much better experience than I expected and I will definitely work with Beyond Video again!”

From Steven:

“I am very pleased with the outcome of the video that you did for my associate Angie. You guys are unbelievable. It was quick, precise and very professional. I will highly recommend you to anyone. Keep up the great work. You guys are awesome.”

For more than five years Beyond Video has filmed TIHAN‘s, (Tucson Interfaith HIV AIDS Network) annual fundraising event. It’s a great way to give back to our Tucson community and share the importance of this non-profit organization.

Treasures for TIIHAN is the major fundraising event of the year for TIHAN. It is a live and silent auction with entertainment and food galore.

The Tuscon Interfaith HIV/AIDS Network (TIHAN) offers their hearts and hands to provide compassionate and non-judgmental service to those affected by HIV/AIDS. Through education and support, they – as individuals and faith communities work to build bridges, reduce stigma and sustain hope.

On February 24, 2018 members from the Tucson GLBT Chamber of Commerce and other volunteers came out for the Rainbow Build Day in Tucson Arizona to lend a hand. Being GLBT Tucson Chamber members and documenting previous Rainbow Builds we at Beyond Video wanted to come out again and film all the work and of course fun our members had during the build day.

Sometimes we get a project that we know will be memorable. This was one of them. The Radisson Suites in Tucson needed to create an original video to present at their conference. They had a concept and ideas of how they were going to put that into a short video. It needed to be creative and show their hotel in the desert. At Beyond Video we filmed and adapted their concepts to create a very funny, entertaining and very informative video.

Since today is National Trivia Day we at Beyond Video thought we’d share some trivia with you. The trivia is about Beyond Video and some Japanese trivia items. Since this is a trivial game, please give yourself a pat on the back for every correct answer. First prize in this trivia contest is a hearty congratulations from the staff at Beyond Video. We hope you have some fun and add to your vast store of trivia knowledge.

We had so much fun filming the process of making the donuts. There are 120 flavors and Chin the co-owner with his wife Amy are creating more flavors in the future. Now you can even order them online and have them ready for pickup the next day.

Clients come to us to create photo montages for a variety of reasons. The most typical montages would be for a graduation, growing up montage to show at a wedding reception or even a montage to play at a celebration of life for a funeral or memorial service. Video montages have become very popular recently since it’s so easy to take video with your cell phone. One project that really touched our hearts was when someone came with video messages that were sent to her from friends and family. She wanted us to create a video montage of all the messages so she could surprise her husband. She threw a surprise party for her husband who was donating a kidney to his sister. You’ve got to see the video and read the story and click on the link to see what we mean.

Here’s an email that I got from a client after delivering the montage.

“This e mail is to thank you for the excellent service you and your husband have provided.

I came to you with a bunch of photos in the hope of preparing a visual with audio, to honor the passing of my wife. Your comments and thoughts were of tremendous assistance in allowing me to work with you in developing this tribute. The end result was well done, properly edited, and presented with great thought and skill. It was comforting to work with you and I am more than pleased with the end result.”

Whether you want to provide us with photos and or video clips,

we can create an eye popping montage for you. Contact us today for your complimentary consultation.
